Chapter 1175: Descend

Qingyuan, Governor's Office, and official residence.

"Hahahaha!" When Cao Yong heard about the imperial chastity arch, he felt that it was refreshing.

He has been in office for more than ten years and has been impeached for several times. He has really few people who value those envoys who claim to be "clean and honest".

They are either lackeys of the powerful or famous. When they are "reported and reported", they are more likely to "take advantage of the problem" or "making troubles without any trouble".

Their impeachment of Tang Zhiyu in front was lively, and even the big hat of losing virtue was deprived of it.

However, Yongzheng gave Tang Zhiyu's widow's wife a "chastity archway", gave her a title to her wife, and gave them a big shave. Cao Yong was very curious about what their face would be like when they stood in front of the emperor.

Jiang Jian and Song Hou did not expect that this would be the result.

"It seems that the emperor wants to protect Lord Tang, Lord Tang is very lucky." Song Ren smiled and touched his beard, "The emperor personally corrects his name, Lord Tang should also feel relieved."

Jiang Jian shook his head and said, "It may not be. If it were other times, it would be a family honor to honor a chaste woman; at this time, Lord Tang might be even more embarrassed. Looking at his words and deeds over the past two years, he has indeed become a bit of character."

Cao Yong nodded and said, "Fei Pi is right. Tang Zhiyu is an old-fashioned person and has the style of an ancient gentleman. He may not be happy about it. However, he is a wise man and should be able to understand the emperor's care..."

As the three of them were talking, they heard the rushing footsteps coming from the yard.

Immediately, I heard someone outside the door say, "Sir, villain must report urgent matters!"

It's Zhang Yi's voice.

Cao Yong's face froze, he stood up and said, "Come in!"

Song Hou and Jiang Jian also stood up and looked at the door.

When Zhang Yi looked anxious, he came in from the door and replied, "Sir, Master Sixteen has come and has already entered the door."

After hearing this, Cao Yong didn't bother to ask in detail, and hurriedly took Song Hou and Jiang Jian to greet him.

As soon as I arrived at the Third Hall, I saw the Sixteenth Prince coming towards me with his guards.

Cao Yong stepped forward and was about to give a gift to the sixteenth prince, but he was stunned.

Behind the Sixteenth Prince, there were two familiar faces. One was the admirable Hang Seng, the other was long eyebrows and thin eyes, looking at him with a smile, but the prince Hongli.

These two teenagers are dressed as Lan Feng Guard, carrying a knife on their waists, which looks very similar to that.

Is this the prince's condor?

Cao Yong felt his brain hurt, his eyes slid past Hongli, and he had already knelt down at the sixteenth prince: "My minister Cao Yong has met the prince, please ask Prince Jin An!"

The sixteenth prince helped him, but did not let him kneel down, and said with a smile: "I came in a hurry. I am afraid I will bother Lord Cao and ask Lord Cao not to blame him!"

Cao Yong said hurriedly: "I dare not, I dare not!"

Sweeping the corners of his eyes, Hang Seng and Hongli had already retreated from the Sixteenth Prince, but had no intention of meeting him.

Seeing this, Cao Yong ignored the two young men and bowed to the sixteenth prince and said, "The prince is here, is he going to convey his will?"

If you bring an imperial edict, you must lead to the lobby to receive the edict and show respect.

The sixteenth prince waved his hand and said, "I am not sending the imperial envoy to the imperial envoy, but I just recited the errands and came here for such a visit."

After hearing this, Cao Yong stopped talking. He first introduced Jiang and Song's two aides to the Sixteenth Prince, and then led the Sixteenth Prince to the official residence.

When we arrived at the official residence, except for the Sixteenth Prince, only Hang Seng and Hongli followed in the room.

Cao Yong then shook his horse's hooves and wanted to give Hongli a gift.

The sixteenth prince did not accept Cao Yong's courtesy, let alone Hongli?

Seeing that he helped him up, Cao Yong also stood up.

Although I know that I will never kowtow and kneel down to this kid in the future, it is better to have one less time to be less time.

This is the best thing to leave Beijing. Except for returning to Beijing to meet and receive the imperial edict, he can speak directly.

After seeing the national gift, it was the turn of the family gift. Hang Seng stepped forward to invite Cao Yong.

Cao Yong invited the Sixteenth Prince and Master Hongli to sit down, and sent someone to serve tea, and then said, "The son of a thousand gold medal cannot sit in the hall. The Sixteenth Prince and the Fourth Prince are of noble status. They descended to the Qingyuan. I am frightened."

The sixteenth prince ate two bites of tea and said, "Isn't there anybody going to make trouble? My old arms and legs are really impatient for trekking and are so tired. Fortunately, the weather is not very hot. If it takes another half a month, I will never move."

Although I don’t know the details, Cao Yong also understood that the Sixteenth Prince came here to "study with the prince" and Hongli was the host and guest.

Hongli had already stood up and bowed to the Sixteenth Prince and said, "It's all my nephew's fault, which made Uncle Sixteenth Prince suffer!" As he said that, he explained to Cao Yong the reason why the two arrived in Qingyuan.

It turned out that after Yongzheng was determined to promote winter wheat in Jin, Lu and Henan, he wanted to arrange to go to Zhili to collect wheat seeds. He could also take the opportunity to inspect the various prefectures in Zhili and see the harvest of winter wheat.

Hongli happened to be in front of the emperor at that time. After hearing about this, he took the initiative to ask for an order to come to Zhili. He was already sixteen years old. Although he was still in the study room to listen to lectures, he also began to learn government affairs.

Food is the most important thing for people. New wheat seeds are related to farming in the four northern provinces, and it is also a matter that the emperor values. Hongli, a son, also wants to do his best.

When Yongzheng was so old, he had already started to work. Seeing that his son was motivated, he was naturally happy.

But Hongli has different identities. He was afraid that the news of the prince leaving the capital would spread and the villain would suffer a disaster, so he gave the open errand to the Sixteenth Prince, so that Hongli would follow him in disguise.

In this way, if you experience it, you will not attract attention.

Looking at Hongli's smile, Cao Yong could only praise the words "young and promising".

After the greetings, the sixteenth prince bounced the invisible dust on his body and said, "I have to stay in Qingyuan for a while, so much time it takes to speak. First arrange a place for the master and the fourth prince, wash the sweat off, and then go to pay tribute to the grandma."

When the fourth prince heard this, he also stood up.

After hearing this, Cao Yong personally led the two to Yin Hotel. The best yard was the former residence of the Tenth Prince. He asked the Sixteenth Prince to stay. The yard behind him was invited to Hongli to live there.

After relocating the uncle and nephew, Cao Yong sent someone out of the city and brought the five hundred guards who came with the 16th Prince to the Supervisor Camp to station.

The fifty royal guards and twenty palace guards who followed the Sixteenth Prince into the city were placed in the empty yard around the residences of the Sixteenth Prince and Hongli.

After arranging these, Cao Yong ordered people to send a message to Liang Chuanfu, the governor's office, to increase the 500 troops in the Governor's Office to 1,000, and increase the intensity of the guards. It is necessary to keep the Governor's Office as an iron barrel.

From the moment these two men left Beijing, the security was not only the guards and soldiers, but also Cao Yong, the governor of Zhili, could not escape. Now that he has entered the Governor's Office, the responsibility of protecting the safety of the two nobles has fallen on Cao Yong.

In addition to arranging the security in the Governor's Office, Cao Yong also sent someone to the prefect's office and the guard's office to invite Zhu Zhilian and Xie Tianlai.

Hang Seng followed his father, looked at him making arrangements with a solemn face, and said with shame: "When my son heard about this, the Fourth Prince had already requested an order in front of the emperor. If he had known about this, his son would have found a way to stop him."

Cao Yong shook his head and said, "The Fourth Prince is very independent. He doesn't seem to be able to listen to advice. It's not your business, so you don't have to blame yourself."

Hang Seng thought about Hongli's personality, and said, "Dad don't worry too much. On the way he came, his son had already secretly begged the prince and asked him to restrain the fourth prince and prevent the fourth prince from moving lightly, so as to avoid any trouble and cause trouble for his father."

Seeing that he had this intention, Cao Yong was pleased, but he also taught: "Although he was good at heart, he was suspected of abolishing the public because of his own selfishness. The fourth prince is the prince and the lord. You are his accompanying him to study and belong to the servant. How can you interfere with the prince's actions because of your own selfishness?"

When Hang Seng lowered his hands, his face turned red, and he lowered his head and said, "My son is clumsy and incompetent, please punish him!"

Cao Yong said, "No matter what you think, you should do whatever you want. Take this matter as an example. You are also asking the Sixteenth Master to restrain the Fourth Prince. You can also treat it as reducing trouble for me, but you can also treat it as you care about the Fourth Prince's safety. If you are really worried, you can't help but ask for it. Although you are behind the Fourth Prince's back, begging privately, and you are asking against the Fourth Prince's will. But you are full of heart to protect the Lord. Even if the Fourth Prince knows this and is slightly annoyed in your heart, you can't blame you, and you will still bear your affection in your heart."

This is the first time Cao Yong has said similar teachings.

Hengsheng also understood, his eyes were bright, and his chest was erect, and he said, "My son knew that just like the father taught in the past, he had to accompany the prince and what he said and did, and he would have to be in line with his own identity and not forget the word "loyalty".

Seeing that his son was clear, Cao Yong nodded with a smile and said, "Go and greet the old lady quickly, madam, I know you will be back, they will be happy."

Hang Seng agreed, but did not go on immediately, hesitating: "Father, should you tell the old lady and his wife about the Fourth Prince?"

Cao Yong said: "The old lady hides it from the other side first, so as not to startle the old lady, and the wife tells her quietly."

Hengsheng then retreated. At this moment, the prefect Zhu Zhilian and the guard Xie Tianlai also arrived.

Cao Yong told the matter that Prince Zhuang and Prince Zhuang would go down to Qingyuan and stay in the Governor's Office for a temporary residence. He ordered the two to clean up the public security in Qingyuan City and not to make any mistakes.

The sixteenth prince brought seventy and eighty guards to the Governor's Mansion, and another five hundred guards then entered the city, which was also something that could not be hidden.

Zhu Zhilian and Xie Tianlai responded, but their expressions were a little strange.

Seeing this, Cao Yong said, "Are you scared by the two lords? I was scared by the governor. Wang Jia was in Qingyuan for one day, and everyone had to take care of the relationship for one day. Fortunately, it won't be too long, at most one or two months."

Zhu Zhilian nodded and said, "I was really scared. There have been many royal families in Qingyuan in the past two years..."

Xie Tianlai had a deep connection with Prince Zhuang’s mansion, and he could no longer hide his worries on his face, and he said with concern: “Sir, is it that the prince encountered difficulties in the capital?”

When the Tenth Prince "temporarily stayed" in the Governor's Office, he did not hide it from the outside, and the Qingyuan officialdom knew much; although the Ninth Prince "temporarily stayed" in the Governor's Office, he did not hide it from anyone who was interested.
